Very well done. Most of the tutorials I have seen so far have left out these absolute beginner, embryotic steps. They assume you can already fly at the basic post stall and don't explain what it takes to do that.

I am just at that point where this is very timely. I can't seem to get a good harrier going, but I see now that I need to work more on the elevator and then build the harrier on to that.

I actually gave up on my harrier because harrier practise is boring until you start to see some progress. Elevators are just plain fun, and I did enough of them just screwing around that I accidentially figured out how to move it forward into a harrier.

I compare 3D flight to sliding a car on a wet road on purpose. Most of us have hung the tail out for a giggle, and it's the same sort of thing with 3D. The plane is not going the way it is pointed, but you're still controlling it.

As you can see, this is not a scarey maneuver at all, and you can do it at whatever altitude you are comfortable with. Start with this and once you get it working really good you just move it forward into a harrier. That's when it all starts to come together.
